Rules and controls
  • You play on a board of 6 × 6 squares. You take turns placing a mark in any free square.
  • On every turn you may decide for yourself whether to place an X or an O. The marks belong to nobody.
  • Order wants five identical marks in a row, that is five Xs or five Os. The row can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
  • The other person causes chaos and wants to prevent exactly that. Chaos wins if the board is full without a row of five having appeared. It also wins earlier if no row of five is possible any more.
  • Order starts.
  • Controls: tap or click a free square and an X appears. Tapping again switches to O, and tapping once more switches back to X. “Place” confirms the shown mark. With the keyboard, choose a square with the arrow keys, the X or O keys choose the mark and Enter places it.
